Top 3 moments from Total recall(Timeless classics)

I Love Arnold movies and I love this Arnold movie as its a movie fueled by 1980,s coke and arrogance that pores out of every shitty synth riff and over acted line and pseudo science explanation. I could do 100 moments of this movie and still not have scratched the surface on this flicks awesomeness.

1)Mars face


This was Effing amazing how the act of being on the surface of Mars cause not just your death but a 4-5 min transformation of your face where your eyes and tongue swell and bulge and pop out of your face. This situation leads to some of the funniest most improbable situations in the movie. Apparently when your exposed to the environment of Mars your face contorts but if you get a whiff of some alien ice that's been flash heated your traumatic event is reversed instantly with no lasting effects to your body



2)Benny the Cab driver

This was hard as I was really torn between three breasted hooker and the "two weeks" lady but I settled on Benny the cab driver who is from the moment he popped on screen talking about his 5 kids to the last time on screen where he was killed with a drill to the side. He was all types of funny from the old slave style cowardice to the old slave style treachery he was a delight to us all. Lest mot forget his reveal as a villain as he shot the revolutionary in the guys guts the understated quato(sp) he showed he is more then a cowardly sidekick he is also a gleefully traitorous coward as he then drops the bombshell of his not having kids and "hell I aint even married" confession blowing our collective minds.



3)The party man himself Richter

unlike number 2 I had no problem with this one. Richter played with deft hand by micheal ironside is a character that all at once shows rage and the willful love of house parties thrown by Ronnie Cox that no one other then ole Mike Ironside could pull off. He was the guy tasked with getting Quiad to Mars and to chase him unsuccessfully scowling for the whole movie. With that said this is not why he is on the list its more for the love of parties that he exudes. This is based solely on his attitude change from mad to happy after being foiled all movie losing both his sidekick and girlfriend to violence and being yelled at by his boss. The mention of the titular house party thrown by Ronnie Cox had Richter going from mopey to AMAZING in 2 homemade party mix Cd,s and a punch bowl. I like to imagine him with a calender with the day marked down as (The Big Day) with X,s counting the days down. I also like to imagine him digging out the board games and citronella candles and a kiss the cook BBQ apron. I digress though as his last scene which was him having his arms torn off by a elevator his love for parties was echoed in the one liner Quaid said as he fell to his death. "see ya at the party ricter" see you at the part indeed.
